I own one, and it sounds great plugged in, and actually good unplugged. Most of the videos that I have seen don't do the guitar justice. Also, the "notch" filter is actually a bandpass filter. If you set it to what one would assume to be the "off" or 0 setting, it is actually engaged and is in fact a high pass filter. This results in the thin sound that I have heard in every video. If you turn the knob fully clockwise, it is a low pass filter and results in a nice full sound yet still has plenty of highs. This is actually the default setting for full range. It is counter-intutive, but makes all the difference in the sound.
Thanks Nick I’m a beginner /novice guitar player and I have been researching for a guitar to buy for 3 months and your feed back on this is guitar is just what I have looking for in my decision in buying this guitar. I now can play to my Hearts content in the years to come Much appreciated Michael Hollingbery
Good review - but what are the dimensions please? What is the width of the Lower Bout? What is the depth of the Body? What is the width of the neck at the nut, in mm?

Do you mean turning it to the 5K position?
Yes. It functions like a low pass filter, giving you nice lows and mids.

Nice review Nick.

How does this guitar compare in size to a Gibson Les Paul and
ES 335?
Dear.. Please tell me the exact width of the guitar body.. Thank you!
Does the on board pre amp take a 9v battery?
Mark Yamanaka yes
Nice looking but .... and i understand why but again ... no bass at all
Not sure of the accoustic sound. Plastic sound.. Lovely looking guitar.
Have Martin's, Taylers, Fenders, Yamaha's, many others pluged in Takamine
WHY would anyone buy this as opposed to the Yamaha APX equivalent???
Does the Yamaha come in a thin line sizing ?
@@cv7900 Yes
I have both I prefer the Takamine.

@@cv7900 I have the Yamaha APX 600 and it does not feel very thin at all. it's 3.75 inches or so. I like it, but it's still bulky to play.
